A pair of nger receiving arms 35 are secured to the clutch member D so that when the operator grasps these arms with two fingers of his hand and positions another finger of his hand on the cap 25 he can impart a reciprocating motion to the clutch member to rapidly revolve the hair winding ap-paratus.

The sleeve 20 of the hair winding apparatus is provided with a wire clamp 36 through which the end of the strand of hair I Irmay be positioned and may be, in accordance with the length of said strand, inserted through the clamp one or more times.

The operation of the apparatus is as follows: The strand of hair II and the forming bar IEl are clamped in the base member A with the latter close to the scalp of the head, and the clip member B is then moved down the bar IU so as to position its spring arms I5 and I6 over the strand of hair after the latter has been given at least a half turn around the forming bar, and the longer spring arm I6 is located in the notch I3 of the base member A. 4

Any desired number of these base members and forming bars with their clip members may be positioned on the head of the person operated upon as it is obvious that only one of the hair turning apparatuses indicated generally by the reference character C is necessary to wind the clip members and strands of hair on any desired number of forming bars, thus the operator can rapidly move the clip winding apparatus from one forming bar to the other and quickly and uniformly wind the strands of hair on the forming bar.

When the hair winding apparatus is in position on `the forming bar its notch or recess 2l will receive the nger 22 and couple the clip member B to the sleeve 20. The operator then, as above explained, imparts as many reciprocating motions to the clutch member D as may be necessary to rapidly and uniformly wind the hair on the forming bar. This apparatus is then removed from the clutch member and is positioned on the next forming bar, and it will of course be noted that when the hair is wound on the forming bar the clip member B will hold the hair wound thereon in position to receive the next treatment to which the hair is subjected.

While I have illustrated and described what I believe to be the preferred embodiment of my invention, it is obvious that various changes might be made in the general form and arrangement of parts without departing from the invention, hence I do not limit myself to the speciiic details set forth but consider myself at liberty to make such changes and alterations as fairly fall within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
